Mercury collected in Vitsebsk Province at the week-end

Rescuers had to collect 5 grams of mercury in the rest room of the surgery department of Shumilin District Hospital. A doctor on duty noticed the small shining balls in the lavatory pan. Two square meters of the territory had to undergo demercuration. At the same time, there was no need for demercuration in the homestead land of an inhabitant of Asveya, Verhyadzvinsk District, although 6 kilos of mercury was found there. The host found the silvery metal and a sealed bottle and did not try to open it. Rescuers only had to take the bottle with mercury and utilize it.
